Job description
We are LSP - Light Sensors & Photonics, one of three business units within ams OSRAM, advancing the digitalization of light. At LSP, we go beyond traditional sensing- combining light, silicon, and system expertise to enable digital photonics solutions. Our focus is clear: powering next-generation applications in data centers, AR/VR, mobile and automotive, where light becomes a critical interface for data, perception, and interaction. This evolution marks a shift from components to integrated photonics systems -driving performance, scalability, and innovation in high-growth segments.
Bringing intelligence to light and passion to innovation
Our team of around 20,000 employees worldwide focus on innovation across sensing, illumination and visualization technology to enable key trends such as digitization, automotive mobility, Industry 4.0/5.0, vertical farming, energy efficiency, the metaverse, advanced medical imaging, AR/VR, advanced biometrics in smartphones and wearables.
The Advanced Optical Sensors business provides market-leading sensor solutions that improve the human experience and well-being by sensing types of light both visible and invisible to the human eye. Key AOS applications include ambient light and proximity sensors; 1D Time-of-Flight, spectral sensors, bio sensors, as well as active noise cancelation (ANC).
This role offers a hybrid work arrangement, with 3 days per week on-site at our Plano, TX office.
Responsibilities:
Responsible for design leadership and development of ultra-high performance, low noise analog solutions associated with mixed signal IC's from initial concept, until production ramp, including design for: manufacturability, yield, test, and reliability.
Performs and supervises detailed design, simulation, verification and validation of integrated circuits.
Directs and supervises block level and top-level layout actives to insure optimum circuit performance.
Expert level knowledge and experience designing for system / application level concerns, including: packaging, parasitics, power, die size, cost, etc.
"Power User" level knowledge of SPICE/Spectre testbench creation and simulations, including: PVT, Monte Carlo, mixed signal, modelling, optimization, etc.
Provides positive internal team leadership and communication, coordination of design requirements and tradeoffs, preparation for weekly meetings (internal and customer).
Analog design subject matter expert level communication with customer (and/or marketing), including: presentation in design reviews, representing the analog design team on weekly conference calls, defining / tracking / working to insure schedule adherence, interactive problem solving and customer communication under pressure, etc.
Highly creative problem solver, able to generate innovative, new next generation IP and file patents.
Generation of detailed relevant documentation including: architectural/concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, test requirements, etc.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with 15 years of experience or PhD with 12 years' experience - with an emphasis in analog / mixed signal Integrated Circuit Design.
Experience with technical leadership in mixed signal IC Design, block level specifications, simulation, modelling, optimizing layout for performance, etc.
"Expert level" transistor level design knowledge and experience of standard analog building blocks including Bandgap references, current references, OPAMP, LDO, charge pumps and such for ultra-low noise performance in CMOS processes. Design experience in ADC is a plus
Excellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer level technical interface and design / team leadership is necessary under pressure situations.
Experience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, etc.)
Excellent team player - as the role requires internal team leadership.
Calm professional demeanor and excellent listening skills
Ability to mentor
